Have lurked on this forum for almost a decade, and gained a lot of informations. Am a Fabia person (no pipe and slippers yet, though. First Fabia I, petrol 1.4 101hk - the usual VW engine/electricial troubles. Current Fabia II, 1.9 TDI 105hk 5 spd gear - great engine no troubles whatsoever after 135000 miles. This summer the good old Fab II 1.9 TDI will be replaced with a Fabia III 1.2 petrol DSG. Dont really care about design and fashion, hence Fabia person. OK Fab II has always been ugly, but I think Fab III with its straigth lines has caught the design-trend of the future. Lets compare with Ford and Vauxhall/Opel in five years.

Hi this is my first post on this forum Really hope this can make it as a great thanks for alle the years of lurking here. I probably had a similar problem with my previous Fabia I. The battery was not charged and no red warning light to ... warn. Very scary indeed. The solution was quite simple and cheap, as adviced in this old topic from 2005: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/32077-fabia-electrical-help-needed/ On mine a socket under the battery was damaged, so the blue exciter wire was loose. An easy fix by my mech, when I told him how-to from Briskoda. Hope this will help you
